Accounting Integration Consultant (M&A / Systems Migration) (Knoxville)

Accounting Integration Consultant (M&A / Systems Migration)

Location: Knoxville, TN (100% On-Site )

Employment Type: Contract / Project Engagement (2–3 Months)

Position Summary

Randstad is partnering with a rapidly growing regional company in Knoxville, TN to lead a critical post-acquisition accounting integration and system migration.

We are seeking a hands-on, highly autonomous Senior Accounting Integration Consultant to serve as the key bridge between legacy operations and modern ERP architecture. Working directly on-site alongside branch leadership and seller personnel, you will lead the clean-up, reconciliation, and cutover of historical records from an IBM AS/400 environment into Oracle NetSuite and ServiceTitan .

This is a high-visibility project requiring equal parts technical accounting expertise, forensic ledger clean-up, system mapping savvy, and interpersonal tact.

Key Project Scope & Responsibilities

• Legacy Data & Subledger Mapping: Extract and review legacy AS/400 data exports and physical paper records to build out clean customer master accounts; link and reconcile unlinked subledger activity back to proper accounts.
• Billing Cutover & Cash Reconciliations: Reconcile historical cash-basis billing activity and assist operational teams with cutover alignment into NetSuite and ServiceTitan .
• AP & Purchasing Workflow Transition: Lead the operational shift away from straight-costing vendor disbursements into formal NetSuite Purchase Orders (POs) to establish accurate inventory and job-costing tracking.
• Audit-Ready Workpaper Construction: Build clear, defensible Balance Sheet and P&L frameworks from raw source documents to support GAAP conversion and prepare the business for an upcoming external audit review by Plante Moran.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner directly with seller accounting staff, local branch managers, and corporate IT teams with urgency, persistence, and discretion to drive milestones forward.

Qualifications & Key Requirements

• Experience Level: 7+ years of progressive accounting experience as a Senior Accountant, Accounting Manager, Assistant Controller, or Project Consultant.
• Systems Architecture:
• Heavy exposure to Oracle NetSuite (GL setup, chart-of-accounts mapping, PO workflow creation).
• Direct experience extracting, mapping, or handling data from legacy ERPs (specifically IBM AS/400 or legacy mainframes) and ServiceTitan is strongly preferred.
• Core Technical Competencies: Full-cycle GAAP conversion, subledger-to-GL reconciliations, purchase order implementation, and audit workpaper preparation.
• Problem-Solving Style: Strong forensic accounting capabilities—comfortable digging through paper documentation, unorganized ledger entries, and legacy database dumps.
• Location & Presence: 100% on-site availability in Knoxville, TN (5 days/week) for the duration of the engagement.
